Well, I know chickens are great for the garden, but...exactly how so?? I have been using the DLM for my coop, and now have two large trash bins filled with pine shavings & poop from the last cleanout.
How do I use this for compost? I already have a (full) compost bin and do not wish to do much to the litter to correctly compost it--the chickens are enough work!
Can I spread it in my garden beds before (or after) winter? Can I sprinkle it on my lawn? What can I do with it to actually utilize it's benefits? Again, I don't want to do much to it and all of the "hot" "cold" "green" "brown" stuff just confuses me. How can I use the litter efficiently & quickly?
I also have a pile of my rakings from the run. This has way more poop and no litter. I'd also love to do something with this.
Would love any and all thoughts on this!
Thanks, and if this post is in the wrong section, I'm sorry!
